Bhaktaneal Posted November 9, 2004 Report Posted November 9, 2004 PAMHO! AGTSP! I was wondering if anyone knows if Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur initiated women? married or otherwise? if so, is it known how many? also, how many initiates did He have in total? Thank you for your time. Quote

Bhaktaneal Posted November 9, 2004 Author Report Posted November 9, 2004 Hari bol! PAMHO! AGTSP! I have started reading Ray of Vishnu... and I can't put it down... Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was/is too amazing for words.... Truly inspirational! That is nice, about Srila Prabhupada's sister... I never heard that...thanks Quote
indulekhadasi Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 Yes, he gave them harinam but I am not sure about diksha. Quote
jijaji Posted April 15, 2008 Report Posted April 15, 2008 I know the initiated women were not allowed to live in the Maths... namaskar Quote
Meghanatha Posted April 21, 2008 Report Posted April 21, 2008 I know the initiated women were not allowed to live in the Maths... namaskar namaskar Sriman Jijaji. Probably because women should be married and stay with their families. But what about old ladies/widows? Quote

I do believe old ladies and widows were allowed to live in the math. As far as I remember, Pishima prabhavati used to live in the math after she became a widow. Quote
